What Prohibition VIII Do.

What if every saloon in the United
States and every other place where
liquor is sold or given away for drink,
ing purposes could be closed and her.
medically sealed for one year! Can
any man estimate the advantage that
would result both to tue laboring
men and the capitalists? The closing
up of these drinking holes would be
q saving to the laboring mon OF this
country of not less than S500,000,-
900 every year, for that is the amount
which, according to the most reiabie
statistics, the laboring men spend
annually for intoxicating drinks. The
saving of this $500, 100000 to the
laboring men would certainly greatly
improve the condition of the men and
their families. 1t would not only re-
:lieve them from the physical and
moral effects caused by drink and
drunkenness, but it would add to
their homes many of the comforts
and conveniences of which they are
now deprived. 1t would give them
more wholesome food, better clothes,
and good homes instead of novels to
live in. The effect on capitalists anil
manufacturers would be equally re-
lieved. Stagnation in trade would
give way to activity. Idle capital,
which has for 50 long n time been
stored away in bank vaults, would
find investment Prices both of Ia.
Dor and of the products Of labor
would be improved.-Ths Lever.
